Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Mayford
How far is Mayford from London?
About 25 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Mayford Meadows?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you come onto our site?
Typically, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Mayford
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for retirement and leaving lunches and a monthly Fish Friday.
Near Mayford, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. After-work summer events in Mayford have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
We can serve each shift in turn.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
